So what does everyone think of this year's
kit?
Several things I noticed
- New Items
- Off-White FisherPrice Motor/Transmission
- Labview Software
- Tie Wraps (Did they make a new appearance?)
- Power Distribution System
- Back-Up Battery (it's Yellow!)
- Banebots Motor
- Banebots Gearbox
- Panel Signal Device
- New Radios
- AndyMark Designed Kit wheel!
- New Kitbot Gearbox
- 12:1 Banebot Plantary Gear (for 2.5" Cim)
- And the return of:
- Cims (2.5" Diameter)
- Mini-Bike's (3" Diameter)
- On a sidenote I'd like to request that the standard name for the 3" motor be "Mini-bike", and for the 2.5" to be referred to as "Cim"
- 2006 Controller
So what did everyone else think of it?
